It is narrated from Salih bin Muhammad bin Za'idah that Maslamah bin Abd al-Malik entered the land of the Romans. A man was brought to him who had committed treachery with the spoils of war. He asked Salim (bin Abdullah bin Umar) about him, and he said: I heard my father relate from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When you find a man who has committed treachery with the spoils, burn his belongings and beat him." The narrator says: We found a copy of the Qur'an (mushaf) among his belongings. Salim was asked about it, and he said: "Sell it and give its price in charity (because the Qur'an cannot be burned)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
